Not sure if this is useful but vim has "right to left and keyboard
mapping for hebrew". Not sure if it is any good/useful as I've never
used it. It needs to be included at compile time.

Not directly answer your questions, but might be helpful.
1) There is a (quite old) Hebrew HOWTO
2) I am sending you, (on a private mail) a compressed tared 24k file.
In there you'll find, among other things, a makefile and a readme. I hope that 
they will assists you in some way.

BTW: If you'll find an answer to some of your questions not through the list, 
please send me those answers (and perhaps to the list too ?)

You can specify this through the X resources mechanism, e.g. by putting
XTerm*VT100*font: -misc-fixed-*-*-*-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
in my ~/.Xdefaults, I get xterm to use that as the default font.

I'm not an emacs user. The editor I use (vim) has support for Hebrew (see
:help hebrew). I assume that MULE (the ?Muti-Lingual Emacs Extension?) has
support for Hebrew; check out the xemacs20-mule package.

There is a variant of TeX for use with Hebrew, called TeX-XeT; check the web
for references to it.

If you are interested in extending Debian's internationalisation support,
please consider joining the debian-i18n@lists.debian.org mailing list.
